180 Someone made an appointment
After Guo Xia finished speaking, he suddenly said, "I heard that you have had trouble with someone in the palace?"
Liuli's scalp numb and she quickly stood up and knelt down, "Sir, I've indeed talked to the Yu sisters and the Xue family's village master."
Guo Xia hummed and made a move to the chessboard. Without asking the details, he raised his chin to the other end of the class and said, "I will leave the cleaning in the classroom within three months to you."
Liuli took the next three months of class cleaning and went to Wutongyuan early every day. After school, she had to leave half an hour later than others. She was less time to stay in the long room.
Huanhua heard that she was punished so heavily for the Yu sisters and Xue Chengyue. She thought she was very wronged and volunteered to explain the whole story to Guo Xia. As a result, Guo Xia was also staying to receive the punishment. The reason was that Liuli was a fellow sister and was a fellow student.
In the face of dissuasion, Huanhua was honest and willing to advance and retreat with Liuli every day.
Liuli is so embarrassed this time.
After the two finished cleaning that day, Liuli asked her to go to the small courtyard of the eldest son to have supper. She specially asked the kitchen to add a few dishes and a pot of fruit wine. It happened that autumn rain began for several days, and the two sisters hurried on the kang and started drinking.
Huanhua covered her sleeve and sipped her wine, and suddenly sighed: "In three or five days, the fourth sister will get married. After the Chinese New Year, the third sister will get married again. Then the four of us will be left in the mansion. I think the sixth sister will get engaged soon, and we will be even more deserted by then."
Liuli picked up food for her and said, "At the end of the year, the fifth young lady is going to come into the mansion, and the mansion is going to add people. People here are going out, and those people are coming in again, isn't it the same?"
"How can that be the same?" Huanhua recognized it seriously. "We have a love for each place to eat and play. They were later, of course different. Since I came back from the palace, I saw that there was something between you and the third sister. Even the pretended intimacy she had in the past was gone. They were all sisters, why should they do this?"
Whenever Huanhua talks about the relationship between Liuli and Yuhua, she always blames her with a few resentment. When she heard this, she even saw that something was wrong between them. Even if Liuli had heard of it in the past, she smiled half-truely today, "I'm not afraid that you know, even if I can tolerate her, she can't tolerate me."
Liuli thought she wanted to naively refute "How could it be?" but she didn't expect that after hearing this, she fell silent and sighed, "I know you, I am a person, sometimes I just want to think, and always feel that everyone should be harmonious and harmonious together, but it's only later that I find that things always go against my wishes."
Liuli felt that she had something to do. When she thought that this morning, she heard from Rui'er that Madam Wu, who was around Qi, had recently been running to the pharmacy shop, but she did not call Wu Yinzhong in, so she said, "Does the third lady feel anything wrong?"
Huanhua smiled bitterly: "Did you see it too?"
Liuli was stunned. Huanhua looked at her and smiled bitterly, "I only trust you in the mansion. I want to hide it from you. My mother has been preparing to be pregnant now. As far as I know, it has been in charge for one or two years. She seems to have been very effective in recent days and is preparing secretly. You said, if a person like her has a biological child, whether it is a man or a woman, will there be a place for me to stand in the future?"
Liuli was really scared by this jump.
No wonder she always feels that Qi is stuck in the house in the past two years and always says she is unwell all day long, but she never really diagnosed any disease. It turns out that she had the idea! In this way, then it was worth pondering that she did not choose the two sons of Aunt Ning to adopt him, but instead chose Huanhua, the daughter. After all, if she cares about Aunt Ning's son as the legitimate son, then no matter how close she will be to the second son in the future, how could she be willing to become the second son, and instead let the son of the concubine occupy the position of the eldest son?
But if she caressed her daughter, it would be different. At her age, she would not have many opportunities to have two children, and adopting a daughter as the eldest daughter would not have any irreversible impact. Huanhua naturally felt unhappy when she learned about this.
However, after all, Qi gave her Fu Shui and used her to drive away the Yu people in the big kitchen. Judging from Qi's attitude towards this adopted daughter, even if she couldn't give birth to her, she would not be considerate to Huanhua.
Huanhua knows this layer of glaze, so she doesn't need to say anything else. In this world, origin is important, and status is the most important. Everyone cannot choose their own origins, but they can fight for their own status.
Liuli met Qi again on the auspicious day when Shuhua got married. This was the first happy event since the old lady came to the mansion to be seriously ill. Although the second wife was a common house, because Shuhua married Song Pi's son, Song Pi was promoted to Pingzhang Zhengshi not long ago, and his son-in-law Song Ziyu was the elder brother of the future emperor's eldest grandson concubine. In addition, the He Mansion has now become closely related to the Dingbei Prince's Mansion. With these layers, it seems particularly grand and has more visitors than before.
As the head of the He family, Qi family, no matter how tough the wits are, they still give him enough face to the He family. Now that the old lady is gone, she packs up the entire Haitangyuan to entertain female guests. Naturally, He Pusong is the main guest and the old man and others are welcomed together, so they are located in Yinsongyuan under the Second Door.
Liuli has no need to accompany the old lady now, becoming an idle person. She sat with the girls in Shuhua's room for a while. When Yuhua came, she returned to the eldest room. She and Shuhua had a bit of quarrel. Who knows if Yuhua's crazy man would take the opportunity to do something? She didn't want to make things difficult for Shuhua, so she would avoid it for the time being.
Shuhua received her affection. Seeing that she got up, she nodded at her and kept Yuhua.
Seeing that Liuli was wandering around, Guo Xia called her side and went to pay tribute to the prince's concubine of Prince Yu's mansion.
The He Mansion has risen. Not only did the prince and his wife of Prince Yu’s mansion come to see him, but even Prince Ning comes with her sister Luo Mingzhu’s relationship. Qi is afraid of being negligent, so he invites Guo Xia to come with him. Guo Xia has served as a guest at Prince Yu’s mansion and is familiar with the prince and his wife. Although Prince Luo is young, Prince Yu’s wife is introduced by her side, and Chunyang is also there, so he naturally gets familiar with her very soon.
"I heard that Mr. Guo had made an exception in He's mansion and accepted a disciple. I think it was this ninth girl." The princess's surname was Qi, and he was the eldest sister-in-law of Chunyang's husband and the cousin of Concubine Qi in the palace. Because Princess Qi was calling him a difficult call, Prince Yu was also the prince's identity, outsiders respectfully called her "Little Concubine Qi". Concubine Qi looked at Liuli with a smile and nodded.
Guo Xia smiled and said, "Liuli is smart, smart, quiet and decisive. I like it very much when I see it, so I accepted it as my disciple."
Chunyang also said on the side: "What is rare is that he is still very filial. When the old lady was still there, she was the only one who served the marquis inside and outside, taking care of her meticulously."
Xiao Qi looked at Liuli, nodded with admiration, and said, "It is easy to get smart people in the world, but it is rare for truly kind and filial people." So she took off a pair of silk-pinned phoenix bracelets in her hand and praised her. Luo Fangxian, on the side, also gave a string of enamel incense beads.
After Liuli knelt down and kowtowed, Guo Xia said, "Go and find the girls to accompany the guests." He sent her out.
Liuli only regarded the invitation arranged by Guo Xia as an ordinary meeting, but unexpectedly, after sending Shuhua into the sedan chair, she returned to the long room. Suddenly, Rui'er gave her a post. It turned out that Xiao Qifei asked her to go to Jinquan Temple to burn incense on the first day of the first day of the lunar month three days later!
As the concubine daughter in He's mansion who is least taken seriously, when did she become so important? Even the princess of Prince Yu's mansion personally ask her to burn incense!
She felt that Guo Xia knew about this, so she went to Wutongyuan with a letter. Sure enough, after reading the post, Guo Xia smiled and said, "This little concubine Qi is very kind. If you make an appointment, you can go. Abide by the rules and don't act rashly."
Liuli became even more puzzled, but Guo Xia had already picked up the teacup to see the guests, so he had to retreat.
Rui'er didn't know what was written on the post, but when she saw her answer, she looked very serious. She thought something big had happened, so she was so anxious that she was so anxious that she turned her handkerchief. Liuli herself couldn't tell me why. It was said that being made by the prince and the princess was a great honor. However, outside, all walks of life knew that the nine girls of the He family had had friction with several noble girls in Yonghe Palace. Now that she had a bad reputation, she didn't think this would be a pleasant meeting.
But no matter what, she had to go, so she stubbornly showed the post to the old man. After the old man was amazed, he immediately prepared a carriage and asked Miss Ninth to accompany Prince Yu to the temple to burn incense on the first day of the Chu dynasty.
The day came in a flash. Before Liuli could even figure out what the relationship between Prince Yu’s Mansion and the Right Prime Minister’s Mansion and the Fengyuan Mansion, was it possible that Yu Songru and Xue Chengyue would go together and take revenge by the way. Early in the morning, Aunt Su asked Hengwei to arouse her from the bed and dress up vigorously.
Because of the low-key nature of the master, Rui'er deliberately chose elegantly when sewing clothes for her on weekdays. So I couldn't find a gorgeous dress now. Rui'er regretted it very much. If she had known that the master had today, she would have prepared a few bright sets. Finally, she only picked a set of brocade with goose yellow silver balls from a bunch of plain clothes and put them on. As usual, she took a light green set with her body. She also had a single bun on her head and a few beads inserted. Although it still felt very plain, it was a bit solemn.
"It's still inappropriate for you to go alone."
Aunt Su saw that Rui'er and Yuegui were not sophisticated, and she was afraid that she would lose etiquette in front of the princess. After thinking about it, she pushed Hengwei to her.
Liuli was also wary of what the Yu sisters were thinking about urging the princess to come up with. If there was a sudden accident, there would be a more mature person beside her, so she did not refuse. She secretly prepared two sharp gold hairpins in her sleeves. As long as she encountered a crisis like the Imperial Garden, she would not be so passive.
